Pael's Tooth

Only offered when the deck contains 5 or more removable cards.

Pael's Tooth removes 5 cards from the deck at once and returns them one by one, upgraded, after combat. It is the ultimate accelerator for thin-deck strategies, delivering deck compression on a scale no other relic can match.

The Overwhelming Value of a 5-Card Remove

• Shop removes cost gold per card and scale in price. Removing 5 at once is otherwise impossible
• Clearing 5 Strikes at a stroke deletes most of the initial weak cards instantly
• The deck becomes extremely thin right after, skyrocketing key-card density
• Roughly 2.5 times the impact of Empty Cage (2-card remove)

The Return Mechanic

• The 5 removed cards are not gone forever. They return one per combat, upgraded
• After 5 fights all 5 are back in the deck, fully upgraded
• Effectively this is a temporary 5-card remove plus a free full upgrade pass
• Even if the returned cards are Strikes or Defends, upgraded versions are stronger than baseline

Choosing Remove Targets

• Pick the 5 weakest cards. Strikes are the top candidates
• Since returns are upgraded, even weak base cards have some use once back
• Removing cards that do not fit the build temporarily sharpens the deck's direction

Character Ratings

• Prioritize Strikes as remove targets, then Defends, then off-build cards
• The deck is very thin for a few combats after the remove — a great window for elite hunting
• Understand that cards return one at a time, so by the 5th fight the deck nears its original size
• In Pool 2, strongly prefer Tooth. The impact of a 5-remove outweighs other Pool 2 relics
